MORGAN Gibbs-White’s World Cup adventure continued as England under-17s beat Japan 5-4 on penalties last night.

The Stafford teenager played in two more group games in India last week, playing the last eight minutes as England beat Mexico 3-2 thanks to goals from Rhian Brewster, Phil Foden and Jadon Sancho.

He then played half an hour of the 4-0 final group game victory over Iraq, secured thanks to a brace from Danny Loader, and strikes from Emile Smith-Rowe and Angel Gomes.

Against Japan, England were unable to score for the first time in the tournament, and even Wolves midfielder Gibb-White's introduction from the bench in the 68th minute yesterday could not break the deadlock.

That took them to penalties, and England netted all five of their spot-kicks to progress to meet the United States in Saturday’s quarter-final.

If they win that, they face the even more daunting prospect of taking on Brazil or Germany in the semi-finals.
